I have had to deal first hand with various painstakingly slow and often inconsistently reproducible wet-chemistry recipes to obtain my desired materials. This would take months.  

I personally like this anecdote. I had this collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute in Viligen (paper still to come out), for which I needed to produce a batch of Cu nanoparticles. We were on a tight schedule. Without timely delivery, the project would have been delayed by months if not postponed indefinitely.  

After having spent months on building up a working synthesis protocol, come due date, the synthesis stopped working. I had to spend literally day and night, two weeks straight to come up with an alternative in time.  

After the whole ordeal, it turned out that the reagent distributor had changed suppliers and the quality of the precursor we had been using all of a sudden changed. In critical moments like that, consistent reproducibility is key. 

VSPARTICLE’s tool offers just that. Once the instrument is calibrated, it works every time.
